I highly recommend Claire Drinks if you want to expand your knowledge/tastebuds in the wine world! I undertook my WSET Level 2 and WSET Level 3 under Claire's tutelage. Her online material is well set out and easy to navigate, her workshops and tasting tutorials were always very engaging and fun, and Claire herself is a great tutor - she is friendly and kind, patient and prompt with her feedback to questions/assignments, and has a wealth of knowledge in the world of wine (and spirits) that she is more than happy to share with others. Cheers, Claire!

I did WSET Level 2 and 3 remotely. Samples were delivered by post, and tastings were held online. Learning resources, particularly the audio recordings I listened to on my way to work, were insightful and enjoyable. I loved the flexibility - I could study at a time convenient to me.

Loved studying for my WSET Level 3 in Wine course with Claire, I travel a lot so the online study materials and flexibility of tutorials was perfect for me - I was delighted to come away with a Merit and booked in again straight away to study the spirits courses!

Claire's knowledge is incredible. I have completed both my WSET Level 2 & 3 with her, & she supported me throughout. Access to more past papers would have been appreciated. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to study WSET courses!

Claire was my tutor for WSET Level 1 Wine and Spirits. I plan to study WSET Level 3 Wine with her. Claire provided me with much help for the exam and taught many tips about tasting. Claire answers many questions not covered by textbooks and is a highly professional educator.

Thanks to Claire's rigorous teaching and in-depth understanding of the wine and spirits, I passed WSET L3 Wines (merit) without working in drinks or hospitality. Her WSET L4 Diploma sessions were illuminating, helping crystallise our thoughts pre-exam. Claire is possessed of an impish sense of humour which makes learning fun.

Claire is a highly professional wine educator. Claire has an incredibly broad knowledge of wines, and she was a very supportive teacher. Having completed the programme with Claire, I passed my exam with distinction. I can highly recommend Claire as tutor to anyone reading towards the WSET qualification.

Having had a number of staff taught by Claire, it is clear to see the benefits Timberyard has seen. The knowledge & confidence staff now possess has increased hugely. Claire has given us the building blocks to help us understand the world of wine and spirits.
Clare Bassan
I found Claire's teaching method incredibly informative and enthusiastic within a nicely relaxed approach. The support I received in our sessions and the feedback from my assignments gave me a great understanding, enabling me to go into the exam and gain a Distinction.
